Wad,

what I am trying to sort out is the following. With the deployments
that have APs instead of AAs, how do we tell school APs from any
random AP out there? Have we / should we define some properties that
allow the XO to spot it (and associate preferentially to it, for
example)?

I guess it touches a few places around NM too... maybe there's been
some hacking on this already?

cheers,
